Object to sites in Harbury Lane and Whitnash area:
Why has only one option been consulted on and how did council decide on this?
Why have council not challenged figures?
Consultation period is too short and should be extended by six months.
Proposed development will cause flooding.
Businesses moving out of area, resulting in job losses and people relocating. This will result in more houses and commercial buildings becoming vacant. Council should consider using these.
Brown field sites should be used.
There will be a huge increase in pollution.
Warwick Gates demonstrates impact of large-scale development - congestion on roads, burden on schools and services. Impact studies needed:
Traffic in area at peak school and work times
Effect of wear and tear on roads from additional traffic - who will bear long term cost?
Schools already struggling to meet local residents needs.
GP services, dentists, hospitals, police and fire services.
Has council calculated cost of Severn Trent supplying water - who will bear long term cost?
Why does council feel preferred option is to dump all development in our area?
If development goes ahead there will be little or no green buffer between Warwick Gates dn Bishops Tachbrook, just an urban sprawl. There is no green buffer between Warwick and Whitnash.
Seems ridiculous plans refused for sports complex on Bericote Road amid concerns with effect on farmland, disturbance to livestock and local residents, lack of public transport and traffic worries. These objections would apply equally to huge housing estate around Whitnash.
